Abstract

Objective. To demonstrate the effect of a Prenatal Educational Program on the knowledge
of risk factors in pregnant women attended at a national hospital in Lima, Peru. Methods.
A quasi-experimental study with control and experimental groups was designed, applying
pre- and post-intervention measurements. The instrument used was a validated scale
to assess knowledge of risk factors, applied to a sample of 20 pregnant women in each
group. The chi-square test was used for hypothesis testing. Results. The results showed no
significant difference in age, previous pregnancy, number of pregnancies, and socioeconomic
level between the control and experimental groups (p > 0.05). Additionally, the Prenatal
Educational Program had a positive effect on the knowledge of risk factors (p < 0.001).
Conclusions. The relevance of implementing evidence-based educational programs on key
variables in pregnancy can be determined.
